agree  ydmills: yes but vaccinations and inoculations are not the same thing. AND inoculation only has one 'n' after the 'i'

  -> I beg to differ... according to the World Health Organization, the terms "immunization", "innoculation", and "vaccination" are interchangeable. Rogets also gives them as synonyms in 689.18

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Steven Geller: "veterinary" is not in the original, and there is no reason to assume that a vaccination centre for cattle is necessarily run by veterinarians. It could be run, for example, by epidemiologists who are not vets.

  -> good point
neutral  Jon Zuber (X): "Veterinary" means that the patients are animals, not that the doctors are vets.

Vaccination pen


Explanation:
This may depend on where these are: if they're on the farm or at a sales yard or show area, then I'd go for 'pens'; but if it's a place where you take your cattle just to be vaccinated (and I doubt this is practical, being an ex-farmer), then I'd go with 'centre'.

Steven, \'enclos\' does indeed mean \'pen\', as does \'parc\'. However, \'parc\' is the word we always use round here for an animal pen.

neutral  Steven Geller: I think that if they had meant "pen", that they would have said "enclos".
